    For the longest time I knew fast food junk was not good for you so I ate less of it.

    During the pandemic I completely avoided fast food.

    It’s been three years now and I haven’t gone to any fast food at all.

    Now I can’t rationalize eating it any more.

    It isn’t healthy, it isn’t food, it has no nutrition, it has too much of the things that degrade your health. It’s also prepared by people being paid as little as possible to maximize the profit to the people who do the least in the transaction.

    From a health point of view is like investing in degrading your body … it’s like investing in rust for your car or pouring tiny amounts of water or sugar in your gas tank … it’s paying a premium for an unhealthy body in the future.

    And now it costs more … it costs more to ruin your health. So you spend a lot of money now to ruin your health and then spend a lot more money to fix your unhealthy self when you get older.

    When you look at it over a lifetime, it’s far cheaper to just not eat fast food
